Example Building Schematic Design: Design Description
Horizontal connections to the adjacent psychiatric facility are provided on
both this and the service level. Earlier program analysis determined that a
separate, connected facility house psychiatric inpatient and outpatient
services. That facility is established as a one-story building, and is hence
a non-systems building, since the building system is applicable only to
multi-story facilities.

Level 2
Level 2 is the intensive nursing level. It includes surgery, radiology and
other diagnostic and treatment functions as well as nursing units for
severely ill patients.
735.2.4
Level 3 and 4
These levels are reserved for less intensively ill patients as well as general
supportive functions for the hospital.
735.2.5
Courtyards
Courtyards have been provided adjacent to the ring "street" on all but the
service level. These will assist in defining the principal circulation routes
of the hospital as well as providing a desirable and economical amenity for
the hospital.
